Home run

Konami didn't break out its mobile __game sales, but did state that baseball __game Jikkyou Pawafuru Puroyakyu (a.k.a Power Pro) surpassed 26 million downloads during the period.

In its last financials, Konami claimed that Jikkyou Pawafuru Puroyakyu had achieved 25 million downloads, suggesting it managed one million more in the three months of Q2.

Sales were also buoyed up by sports games Professional Baseball Spirits A and Winning Eleven Club Manager, as well as licensed IP Star Wars: Force Collection.
